Try this:
$word = <DATA>; #Assign the next line to the $word variable
chomp $word;
print "$word\n";
$word =~ /^\s*(\S+)\s+(\S+)\s+(\S+)\s*$/; #assign the matches in
parenthesis to $# vars
my $target = $1;
my $count = $2;
my $num = $3;
print "Target = $target \n";
print "Count = $count \n";

Subject: Re: Creating variables of a string
Right now it is not working and I was wondering if I sent the code maybe
someone with more experience with this will see the problem. I am very new
to this. The line I am trying to create the variables from is
C6xxxSimulator(TI) 61 1
and the code is
$word = <DATA>; #Assign the next line to the $word variable
chomp $word;
print "$word\n";
my ($target, $count, $num) = $word = ~ /^\s*(\S+)\s+(\S+)\s+(\S+)\s*$/;
print "Target = $target \n";
print "Count = $count \n";
and the output is
C6xxxSimulator(TI) 61 1
Target = 4294967295
Count =
Does anyone have any ideas? I'm lost.
